Oh Paaduka! The colours-white, black and red-emitted by gems on You

colour the Ganga stream on Siva's head as if there were groves of

white lilies, blue and red lotuses in the Ganga banks.

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):

 

SlOkam 537:

 

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! The reflections of the

white, black and red colors from Your gems on the flowing waters of

GangA river on the head of MahEswarA make them look like the forests

of white lilies, red lotuses and blue lillies.

 

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:Oh PaadhukE! The white and the red

gem stones are enmeshed on Your surface. Lord Sivan prostrates before

You. The lustre of Your gems is reflected on the waters of Ganga

river adorning His head. When one reflects on that sight , one is led

to think that the GangA waters are filled with forests of White Lotus

(Aambal), Blue Lillies (Karu-neythal) and red lotus flowers.

 

3) Swamy Desikan is enjoying the lustre of the white, black and the

red gems on the surface of the Paadhukais ( sitha-asitha-aruNaanAm

MaNinAm prabhA). Lord SivA is prostrating before the Lord's

thiruvadi. The rays of the three kinds of colored gems are reflected

in the waters of GangA river finding its home on the matted hair of

Lord SivA and give the appearance of the forests of blue lilly,

white lotus and red lotus in the GangA pravAham ( MaNinAm prabhayA

Girisasya mouLi GangA Kumudha-Indhivara-Padma kaananAni vahathE )..
